Dear minister @DrZweliMkhize. Thank you for your relentless efforts in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic. Please know that when you give your Stats today, 1 of the deceased is my 54yr old mother.
I know your dedication sir and am truly grateful. I do know that no one can stop death.

However I'd like to bring to your attention that my mother had a lot to fight these past 2 weeks besides the actual virus. She arrived at Mthatha General on Friday night the 12th June and stayed at casualty, on a stretcher till Sunday night the 14th because there were no beds...

On Monday the 22nd & Tuesday the 23rd she got so critical that she was said to be in need of ICU ventilation as the oxygen support was no longer sufficient. But because of bed shortages in ICU, the medical staff opted for high flow oxygen which didn't help. This morning at 12:15

She was confirmed dead.
I appreciate you Mr minister, you have worked relentlessly. My only prayer and desire is that what happened to my mom doesn't happen to anyone else. She froze in that casualty 2 weeks ago and she needed that ventilation this week.
Thank you Dr Mkhize!
